CATEGORY

structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
text	cornifin

basic FUNCTION	cross-linked envelope protein of keratinocytes
	keratinocyte protein that first appears in the cell cytosol, but ultimately becomes cross-linked to membrane proteins by transglutaminase
	function as a flexible cross-bridging protein to provide tensile strength or rigidity to the cell envelope of the stratified squamous epithelia

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, differentiation

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	squamous cell differentiation

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

clustered in the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC)

INTERACTION

REGULATION

induced by	the extracellular calcium (during esophageal epithelial cell differentiation)
		during squamous metaplasia induced by cigarette smoke exposure

Other

regulated by prolonged cyclic stress in vascular smooth muscle cells, which may have important implications to vascular disease
